CXRacing 240SX S13/S14 LS1 Swap Build Engine/Transmission Mount, Header, Oil Pan, Rad
 
We are taking on a new project, to build a LS1 with T56 Tranny swap on a S13 and a S14, the project will cover all the necessary parts to make the swap smoothly, including Engine/Transmission Mount, Header, Oil Pan, Radiator, and also Fuelrail, Throttle Body, intake manifold and vale cover for advanced upgrade.


Here are the build progress, will keep posted. have fun...

This is the car that we own for a long time, has been to KA24DE and SR20DET projects, now it is up for a LS1!!!

This is the engine mounting plate, it will be CNC Aluminum. It has many ½ inch apart holes so that engine can be moved forward and backward, the bushing mounting is also offset, which can flip teh plate up and down to sit the engine higher or lower. With this new design, it should cover all the LS mounting needs for almost all applications.

If you cut where the lines are drawn in the picture above, it wouldn't give much adjustment.

Not saying you will, but it looks as if you may.



EDIT: And isn't this swap kit already complete? What about Jeff Jones' car?

no, we don't cut it on the line, it will be exactly shown as the last picture.

Jeff's is for Pro Race, uses much lowered mounts and also a solid mount. this one is more for normal swaps, with pushing mounts.

Have the Engine Mounts done. we used steel plate for the mockup, but actual production will be the aluminum CNC plate with bushing.

with our engine mounting plate design(the CNC Aluminum one shown on picture above), you can easily move it forward or backward by 1/2 inch increments, you can also flip the mounting plate up and down which gives you 1/2 inch high or low adjustment. this design will be patterned.

To be clear, the kit we are developing includes:

1. Engine mount Plates, Motor Mounts, Tranny Mount (done)

2. Longtube Headers (being developed)

3. Radiator Kit (being developed)

4. Oil Pan (being developed)

5. Drive Shaft (probably an option) (will develop)

6. Electronic Kit (connecting the motor to 240SX factory Wires). (will develop)

then for advanced applications, we will offer:

7. Fuelrails (done)

8. Vale Covers (being developed)

9. 92mm Throttle Body and spacer (done)

10. Aluminum Intake Manifold (Not a Plastics!!!) (being developed)

so anyone trying to do a LS swap now, wait and see, it will save you a lot of headache and time.
